Hannah Shucksmith Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l33th3tr33 Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Any good? No complaints but they do slightly harden because of the cold weather at the mo, which hasn't been a problem for me. Normally I use red in the spring/summer, but yellow work fine for me during the colder times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Hmm... I bought a pair to put on a t-rex I've got in my shed. They don't seem too bad from a few hops in the garden, but that doesn't say much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

l33th3tr33 Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 which ones are red, do you have linky? the reds are trials specific, basically the same as yellow but slightly harder and longer lasting. you'll find them here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Dark Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 can you reiterate? what pads are cheap anyway? what pads only MIGHT be decent? In my mind there are no cheap decent pads apart from Onza Citrus.....coust pads, koxx brown and TNN are what i'd go for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alextheferret Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 (edited) Hannah do you have a Rim Grind? I think they were the standard pads that were supplied with my bike. After getting a grind they literally turned to dust! Luckily I have try all Croco brown pads now so s'all good Edited January 11, 2010 by alextheferret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben John-Hynes Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 can you reiterate? what pads are cheap anyway? what pads only MIGHT be decent? Most pads are fairly cheap, and will last ages with the right set up. And the pads the topic is about only MIGHT be decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Shields Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Pads are so cheap anyway, why waste money on something that only MIGHT be decent? I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but unless your rich, i think £25 for phat pads and nearly £30 for TNN BRAKE PADS is expensive, even if i have a pair i wouldn't say thats cheap for brake pads in my opinion. but also they are awesome so, i guess you get what you pay for with the exception of onza, those pads are reasonably priced and good value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

315r Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 You can save money in all your bike except in brake pads and chains. At first, stupid and relatively cheap parts in comparison of all the rest of your bike. But if they snap, you can experiment an epic fail..... Is my opinion, of course.

Worth thinking about, same as any CNC backing pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 I'd say for the rear, buy some coust-sinks....after seeing with my own eyes how quickly the LGM's disappeared on 2 peoples bikes i personally wouldn't use them. However, on the front I'd definitely go with some onza citrus; both Joe Seddon and Andrei Burton run these pads and they perform brilliantly on their bikes. Certainly a good enough reason to run these extremely good value pads in my eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 What sort of setups do they have though? I've seen setups from some people who's LGMs only lasted a reasonably short amount of time, and they had super harsh grinds and hadn't got their pads set up square. Because the backings are so stiff, if your pads aren't set up nice and square to your rim they'll brake more at an angle meaning they'll wear out faster. With plastic backings the backings can flex more and allow the pad to sit more evenly on the rim even if your brake's slightly on the piss meaning that they'll have a slower wear rate. Stan's been running his pads for ages, and until I sold mine I was running mine for quite a while too with very little signs of wear.

Medium grind on both....and set-up square, im not bringing names into this though...as i'm sure it'll start a whole new arguement Suffice to say, I'd prefer to bring my custom to Steve @ heatsink I agree some do seem to last ages, and work extremely well though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
